Name (s) of Faculty Member (s):
Christine Devlin Eck and the Sacred Window Studies Founding Instructors

Provider/Faculty Bio:
The Center for Sacred Window Studies was born out of the commitment to bring further into the world the teachings of Ayurveda and Postpartum Care. We recognize a real need for parents and babies to reconnect to these ancient concepts, which can address common difficulties postpartum.

Each team member from the Center for Sacred Window Studies came to this work through contact and study with the late Ysha Oakes, who founded the original Sacred Window School. Her wisdom and heart informed so many, and we honor her work and her memory.

Our mission is not only an effort to expand the accessibility of caregivers trained in this conscious way of caring for new parents and babies but also to affect social change on a broader level. We believe in meeting families where they are and adhering to the Mother's Principles of simplicity, flexibility, compassion, listening, intuition, grounding and non-judgment. We follow these principles with each other, with our students and as a foundation of the caregiving we teach.

Apply Marma therapy, breath, journaling, & other Ayurvedic self care methods as tools professionally & personally to cultivate greater skill with mood & food.This course is designed for professionals & lay people of all genders.

2. Learn to support your nervous system to ground in awareness at least 50% of the time, thereby moving to safer, more stable states, which can give you greater freedom of choice in life.
